We are a team of 11 who are employees / members of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC). We decided to sign up as a group to raise money to combat homelessness in the region by sleeping out

in the grounds of internationally renowned Edgbaston Stadium on Thursday 26th April.

The sleepout is intended to support the

work of St. Basils and

the Winter Nights Shelter, addressing

homelessness around Birmingham and the

Warwickshire region.

The team is being led by Paul Faulkner, CEO of GBCC. The team consists of:

Anjum Khan, Director of Asian Business Chamber of Commerce (ABCC).

Mandy Canny, Group Membership Director of GBCC.

Russell Ashman, Sponsorship Manager of GBCC.

Jessica Brookes, Press & PR Assistant of GBCC.

We will share our photos and update on our experience of our sleepout.

As the official charity of Edgbaston Stadium/Warwickshire Cricket Club, the Edgbaston Foundation is the vehicle for growth of community engagement and social responsibility activity. Our aim is to harness our position as the charity of a major sporting institution to influence positive social change within our community with a focus on issues affecting young people.

The Edgbaston Foundation focuses on three key areas. Enable.Enrich. Engage. Our engage strand focuses on cohesion and inclusion of those that are disadvantaged or on the fringes. Sport can be a unifier and a source for motivation to improve life outcomes and to help people feel like they belong, not just to the club, but to society.
